AC Milan’s whole approach on the mercato has changed since Geoffrey Moncada, along with Giorgio Furlani, took over the operation. One of their targets, a journalist claims, is a 21-year-old Nigerian forward.
According to the journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Milan’s scouting department have identified Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi as a ‘hidden gem’ and the Rossoneri would like to anticipate the competition. As such, they could make a move soon.
🇳🇬🔴⚫️ Le #MilanAC a découvert une pépite nigériane pour le « futur » et veut anticiper la concurrence!

Ikwuemesi is 21 years old and plays for the Slovenian side NK Celje. This past season, he scored nine goals and assisted an additional five. At 195 centimetres tall, he could be an interesting one and it remains to be seen if Milan will make a move.
It would certainly be a signing with Moncada written all over it, as the Chief Scout has always been known for finding more or less unknown players. In the meantime, Milan are also awaiting the response from Marcus Thuram who is the priority for the attack.
Chukwueze,
Chukwuemeka,
Chukwubuikem
The scouting algorithm seems to be quite predictable.
After the massive success of scouting last mercato, they decided that they might just as well go alphabetically
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Instead of Gre-No-Li, maybe we’ll have Chuk-Chuk-Chuk. Or maybe Chuk^3?
Hopefully in the end, we won’t choke in the market
We need a Chuk! Is Chuk Norris available?
Hahahahahahahahahahahah. In Slovenia Colombo would score 20 goals in a season. Are you kidding me? This guy is our CF target? I hope that is the 3rd striker option…
Btw. Why not buy Petkovic who just scored a great goal against Netherlands and also in the world cup against Brazil? He was great against Milan as well. He played in Italy, he knows the language and would cost 4-5M. He is better than most targets we have had…And Giroud probably.
because Origi and his pedigree worked out for us so well with a proven goal scoring record? You never know…
Lol
The word Chukwu means God is the southern region part of Nigeria and Ubuiken means my strength..
Chukwubuikem simply means God is my strength
Define the other two Chukwus please. Lol.
Yes please. This is far more interesting than the rumor itself.
So the name is similar to Gabriel.
Cheers for the translation!
Jesus Christ! Things are getting more and more depressive with each day that passes! Some unpronouncable Nigerian who managed to score 9 gals in Slovenia!
This club is going down!
I agree with the club going down but for 2 mil I would get him in a flash
Kvara was a nobody from Russia and look at him now. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Why not Gift Orban? Makes way more sense.
Why not Hungarian Orban, since we just lost our right-wing demagogue to free agency?
If they’re going through with this transfer best we collect all the Chukus and that way we can see all 3 up top, it’ll be the highlight of my season 😂😂😂
He cant do worse than origi all im gonna say
I wonder the sudden madness about Nigerian strikers. Osimen incredible success does not mean all other Nigerian strikers will achieve same. Enough of all this myopic thinking from Milan management.
We can’t complain now. Let them work in peace then preside or bash them later
